Convenient Network Access Around Campus

CITES > walkup

Bring your own notebook computer to libraries and other areas on campus. Plug in, authenticate, and you're on the Internet!

Walkup Computing allows authenticated access to the network at many locations around the campus.

If your computer has an Ethernet adaptor card and works on any network, it will probably work with Walkup Computing. For most people, no special configuration is necessary, thanks to automatic network identification through DHCP.

Just plug in to the network and open a web browser, then visit a website such as http://www.uiuc.edu. You'll see a login screen asking for your UIUC NetID and password (or your guest account ID and password, if you're a campus guest). Enter these, click the login button, and you are instantly on the network.
